IV Symposium
Glia Diversity in Neuromodulation
and Neurodegeneration May 29, 2019 - FFULisboa

|
The Portuguese Glial Network invites you to attend and participate at the IV Symposium of the Portuguese Glial Network on May 29th, 2019. The Symposium will be held at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Lisbon (FFULisboa).
This Glial meeting will focus on indirect and direct conversion of somatic cells into neural cells to model diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), and on new evidences about the specific roles of different glial cell types, their regional diversity, and contribution to disease onset, progression and neurodegeneration. Emphasis will be given in how glial cells and neurons are intermingled and mutually depend on each other to maintan CNS homeostasis. The Symposium will provide forward looking activities where students will have the opportunity to interact, share and discuss their research data, as well as receive constructive feedback from scientists and leaders in the field.
